Comagmatic lamprophyres and diabases on the south coast of Norway

Two lamprophyre-diabase associations on the south coast of Norway are described. The lamprophyres and the diabases contain feldspathic leucocratic segregations in the shape of ocelli, ocellar pipes, sheets, or irregular veins and schheren. The origin of the lamprophyres is considered to be related to the formation of the leucocratic segregations. It is believed that the behaviour of alkaline volatiles under the influence of tensional stress and gravity accounts for the differentiation.
